Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The physical state of arsenic acid is described both as a liquid and as a solid crystalline.
Executive summary:

The physical state of arsenic acid was found to be liquid (arsenic acid solution) and to be solid (arsenic acid hemihydrate).

The reliability of this result has been considered as 2 (reliable with restrictions) because 'CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics' is cited as a reference book containing peer reviewed data in the REACH Guidance Document R.7a.
